Legitimate right to participate in the Shareholders' Meeting

Legitimate authorisation to participate in Shareholders' Meetings and to exercise voting rights - exclusively through the Appointed Representative - is certified by a communication to the Company, performed by the intermediary, in compliance with its accounting entries, certifying that the party is entitled to vote, on the basis of information relating to the end of the accounting day of the seventh trading day prior to the date set for the Shareholders' Meeting to be held in a single call and that is on Thursday 11th April 2024 (the record date).

The aforementioned communication from the intermediary must be received by the Company by the end of the third trading day prior to the date set for the Shareholders' Meeting in a single call (i.e., by Wednesday 17th April 2024). Nevertheless, the legitimate right to participate and vote remains, should the communications be received by the Company later than the aforementioned time limit, provided they are received before the commencement of the proceedings of the Shareholders' Meeting.

The instructions to participate in the Shareholders' Meeting through telecommunication means will be disclosed by the Company to the aforementioned persons.

Right to submit questions in accordance with article 127-ter of Italian Legislative Decree no. 58/1998

Those who hold the right to vote may ask questions on the items on the agenda before the Shareholders' Meeting by sending an email to the address recordati@pec.recordati.it; the questions must be received at least seven trading days before the date of the Shareholders' Meeting (i.e., not later than Thursday 11th April 2024). Answers to questions received are given on the Company's website (https://recordati.com/shareholder- information/), once it has been verified that they are relevant and that the asker has a legitimate right, at least three trading days prior to the date of the Shareholders' Meeting (i.e., not later than Wednesday 17th April 2024), and the Company has the right to give a single answer to questions having the same content.

Those who certify ownership of shares have the right to receive an answer. For this purpose, a certification issued by the custodian intermediary certifying the ownership of the shares by the asker must be produced, even subsequent to submission of the question provided that it is no later than Monday 15th

April 2024, with validity on that date and in any event with effect until Thursday 11th April 2024 (the record date), and according to the same procedures for the submission of said question. If a shareholder has asked their custodian intermediary to communicate legitimate authorisation to participate in Shareholders' Meeting, it is sufficient to provide references to that communication issued by the intermediary in the request.

Right to make additions to the agenda and to submit proposals

Shareholders who, either alone or jointly, represent at least one-fortieth of the share capital may ask for items to be added to the agenda of the matters to be dealt with, by making the request within at least 10 days of the publication of this notice and indicating the additional matters to be added to the agenda or they may submit proposals for resolutions on matters already on the agenda. The request for additions must be sent in writing by certified electronic email to the address recordati@ pec.recordati.it.

Additions are not permitted for matters on which the shareholders vote in accordance with the law on proposals submitted by the Directors or on the basis of a draft document or a report prepared by them, other than those indicated in article 125-ter, paragraph 1 of TUF.

Certification of ownership of the shares by the shareholders making the request, and also of the percentage required, must result from a specific communication produced by the custodian intermediary, effective on the date of the request and sent to the same address recordati@pec.recordati.it.

Additions to the agenda or the submission of further proposals on items already on the agenda to be resolved upon shall be published according to the same procedures used to publish the notice of call of the Shareholders' Meeting, at least fifteen days prior to the date set for the Shareholders' Meeting in first call.

Shareholders who request additions to the agenda shall prepare a report on the matters they are proposing for discussion. The report shall be delivered to the Board of Directors within the time limit for the submission of requests for the addition of items.

At the same time as the notice of additions is published, the report prepared by those shareholders requesting the additions, accompanied by any assessments that may be presented by the Board of Directors, shall be made available to the public according to the same procedures applying to documentation relating to the Shareholders' Meeting.

Submission of individual resolution proposals

Since participation in the Shareholders' Meeting and exercise of the voting right can be carried out exclusively through the Appointed Representative of the Company, for purposes of this Shareholders' Meeting, in order to make it possible for the relevant parties to exercise the right referred to in the Art. 126-bis, paragraph 1, penultimate sentence of TUF - albeit with methods and terms compatible with the unchanged requirement that the individual resolution proposals can be made available to all of the persons entitled to participate in the Shareholders' Meeting and exercise the right to vote with enough time to provide voting instructions to the Appointed Representative - the Shareholders are expected to individually submit to the Company resolution proposals on agenda items by 6:00 p.m.of Monday 8th April 2024 so that the Company can proceed with their subsequent publication. Shareholders who submit proposals must certify their right to do so by sending the Company specific documentation issued in accordance with the applicable provisions by the intermediary who keeps the records for the account on which the ordinary shares are registered. The resolution proposals, and the aforementioned documentation relating to entitlement, must be submitted by sending to the certified e-mail account recordati@ pec.recordati.itwith specific reference to 'Shareholders' Meeting Recordati 2024 - Individual resolution proposals'. The resolution proposals received by the Company within the deadlines and in the manner described above will be published on the Company's website no later than Wednesday 10th April 2024, so that those having the right to vote can review them in order to grant the proxies and/or sub-proxies, with the relative voting instructions, to Appointed Representative. For purposes of the above, the Company reserves the right to verify the relevance of the proposals with respect to the agenda items, their completeness and their compliance with applicable provisions, as well as the entitlement of the proposers.

Documentation

The documentation on the items on the agenda required by the laws and regulations applicable shall be made available to the public at the registered office of the Company, on the corporate website and on the authorised storage service 1INFO (www.1info.it), in accordance with and within the time limits set by the regulations in force.
